Bay Area

The Kobe scenery from the montain side and the ocean side is different.
Near our hotel, there are many cruise ships, such as a harbor cruise which can board while enjoying a meal, and we believe you feel a boundless expanse of ocean and also you can enjot the view of theRokko-san mountains in daytime.
At night, the cruise ship which can see the longest suspension bridge “Akashi Kaikyo Bridge” in the world is also recommended and you will be definitely affected by the sparkling view from the cruise.

Luminous Kobe 2 is one of Japan’s largest restaurant cruise ships at 4,778 tons gross and total length of 106 meters. Its day cruise will impress you with Kobe’s cityscape and the view of Kobe Airport and the scenic Rokko mountains, and the night cruise will steal your hearts with the illuminated Akashi Kaikyo Bridge and Kobe’s million dollar view of its night skyline. They offer the chef’s special Mediterranean-style French cuisine using ample seasonal ingredients as well as a steak buffet grilled by the chef right in front of your eyes.
